Publisher's Summary
In the high-stakes world of Formula One, only the fastest make it to the top. Few know this better than Australian Formula One legend Mark Webber. His career in F1 stretched an incredible 12 years, saw him earn 42 podium finishes and triumph in nine races, including twice-winning the crown jewel of F1, the Monaco Grand Prix.
But the road to the top of F1 racing is long and full of deadly twists and strange turns. In his long-awaited Autobiography, Webber tells the incredible true story of the small town pizza delivery boy who climbed the apex of the world's most dangerous sport. With startling candour, Webber takes us on a thrill ride through the highs and lows of his amazing career, detailing the personal struggles that drove him, revealing the truth at last behind his rivalry with Red Bull Racing teammate Sebastian Vettel, and allowing us access-all-areas into a very private life played out on the public stage.
Filled with anecdotes about the great drivers, epic races and characters of Formula One, Mark Webber Aussie Grit is a fascinating account of a life in the cockpit of an F1 rocket and the inspiring, no-punches-pulled story of a great, gritty Australian.

Should Be Called Uphill Grind
I knew Marks journey wasn't easy. I had no idea his best years & results at RBR were the time he received the least help (except financially). I knew Marco was hard work. I knew RBR had Vettle as their No 1 driver. I had no idea that Mark's time there was a mental rollacoaster. I wish he had won the title in 2010 & moved to Ferrari in 2012.

a true Aussie story - a great read for anyone.
Loved it. At multiple points I thought the narrator was mark himself.
A great story from humble beginnings to the top of the sport. What I loved about it was Mark remaining super authentic to himself especially facing the adversity within the f1 circus and generally the motorsport arena. It's a tough sport and it's not for everyone.
It's great to hear a true blue Aussie story. This book will resonate with many Australians digesting this book as our culture and upbringing was articulated so well in this story. A true champion of the sport and a great representative. it would have been interesting if netflixs "drive to survive" was around his career.

A true 'Strayan story
This is a must for all Aussie sports fans, regardless of if your into F1 or even motorsport. Mark is as true a representation of all that is great about the Aussie sporting spirit and that comes through in how he views his life and career.

Loved it
Always rated Mark Webber as an Aussie icon and someone to look up to as symbol of hard work and determination. This book took me back to all those late nights in Melbourne watching the European races being so incredibly nervous that he get off the line well....
Side note - Always thought Marko looked like a complete d!ck, so glad that was cleared up

Every aussie F1 fan should have a listen
Great listen, sounded like Webber was reading himself.
Good insight to a successful career, ups downs and all the politics inbetween.
Unfortuantly it takes the best to be the best, attitude, charismer, timing and talant, as good as Mark was he just fell short somewhere.
Never the less one of the greatest Aussie sportsman I have seen, followed and cheered in my lifetime.
